Excerpt

Subclinical primary left ventricular (LV) dysfunction is a complication of systemic sclerosis (SSc) related to progressive diffuse myocardial fibrosis. Myocardial T1-mapping has recently been proposed as a cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) method to quantify interstitial fibrosis early in the disease course whereas late-gadolinium enhancement (LGE) imaging remains normal. …
